Great Portable Sound

Written By JayB, Burlington, NJ / Duck, NC on Monday, September 16, 2013

I'm very happy with this purchase. I got this speaker specifically to take outside on the deck. The sound quality is really great and has a much bigger and fuller sound than a lot of these type units do, especially for it's size. Far better than the Sony it replaced. We have yet to run the battery all the way down after several hours of use, and it does recharge fairly quickly. The carry bag makes it easy to take on the road, but second battery pack really doesn't fit in the bag.

Perfect for dance instruction

Count on Bose for fabulous sound quality. Combine that with light-weight and cordless portability, the the SoundDock Portable (with an iPod) is perfect for teaching ballroom/Latin/nightclub dancing at various locations, without the (former) need for juggling a heavy and bulky sound system. A quick "remote" click of the button from across the room - even a very large room - allows me to keep the music inspiring and my students on track; clear Bose sound makes it a joy to dance.

Pros:Portability and cordless, remote "no-fuss" operation are big advantages while I'm managing a class. Clear sound even at high volume. Appreciate the "package" including shoulder-bag and back-up battery.

Bose Music to Go Package

Small, light and battery-powered; yet has a great sound. Needed a system that was portable and small - this fits the bill. The only down side: carrying case is junk! For the price they charge - Bose products have the reputation for being top notch. The case does not have a spot to carry the spare battery that comes with this package - that is pathetic!!!

Bose® Music-to-go Package

The Bose speaker has excellent sound. Produces quality one would expect from Bose. Though rated it only a 4 as the bag is horrible. Thought it was a great idea to have extra battery so when "on-the-go" could take speaker and have enough battery power to last all day. Though the bag does not have enough space to handle the extra battery pack. Have to squeeze it in the top and then the magnetic fastener does not work as the magnets do not line up correctly. Would have been better if Bose would have designed pocket in the front for the extra battery to slide into so this could truly be a on-the-go "package".

Pros:Great sound from the Bose speaker. Bose sound quality is unequaled and this speaker transforms your mp3 player into a great sounding stereo system.

Cons:The bag is very poorly designed. It has no pockets to carry the extra battery. One would think if the bag was part of this package it could be designed to carry the included items.

Great portable music

This easy to use and light speaker produces great sound. The bluetooth link worked easily and linked to any of our iphones. I wished that Bose was selling a case for this as we took it to the beach and on a boat. It worked flawlessly and for over 6 hrs without needing a recharge. Would definitely recommend this.

Solid....

Bose never lets down on sound. I bought for outdoor use and everyone is impressed with this product. Love the fact that it came with a carry bag and extra Battery for HOURS of music to listen too. Thank you CRUTCHFIELD!

Love it!

I love this Bose package. We have a cottage and I like that I can take this to the dock with me and listen to it while I fish. The battery lasts a long time. It doesn't have the best sound I have ever heard but I still wouldn't trade it for anything. It is so hard to find any portable music system. The carrying case could be a little bigger and should have a catch/velcro, anything, so it would stay closed. I am afraid my sound system could fall out. I highly recommend you buy this package if you are looking for portability. By the way you can make it into a radio if you plug a two way user plug into the back along with your ipod.

Pros:so portable, get an extra battery, remote and carrying case

Cons:sound could be better, travel case is too small and needs someway to close tight

Great Sound

This is the first Bose product I have owned. Very impressed with the sound. The battery has a long life. The travel case is good for transporting the SoundDock & iPod but the AC adapter does not fit well. I would buy the SoundDock again and I also recommend it if you want to purchase quality sound that is portable.

Bose® Music-to-go Package

Great sound. Excellent for listening to music around the pool. Highly recommend purchasing the Music-to-go Package, because I feel that it is the best bargin on the internet especially at Crutchfield's.

great portable

The sound dock is a little wonder. The sound is clear and loud and the battery lasts forever. The bag is nice but the charger does not fit in the little pouch attached inside unless you take off (and probably lose) the A/C plug so I would not use it. The extra battery does fit in the bag but only "sort of". I think BOSE needs to do a bit of work on the dimensions to make it a true "package". All in all, I definitely would purchase again.

Awesome Product!

I own Bose and know there are other good speakers out there but this unit does it all for portability! It is pricey but sounds awesome. Very clear highs and some bass thumping out from the back. The ease of carrying it around the house and outdoors is key. It cranks and the battery was what won me over in reading reviews. You will not be disappointed. Buy it!!! Crutchfield Rules.

As expected

It's expensive as you know, and my biggest fear is that after several years, I'll only be using the aux-in (as Apple changes standards and the unit won't charge future devices). But it sounds excellent, and the portability makes this unit extremely flexible. For reference, I have the Marantz SR7005, paradigm speakers at the home, and JL Audio soundsystems in two vehicles. I'll installed for years and appreciate good clear sound. This unit has it.

Just what you expect

I had been wanting to replace my older portable iPod/iPhone player for some time and I am really happy with my choice in its replacement. Bose knows how to make great sound efficiently and this product is no exception. I really like having the extra battery. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the price. But I knew what I was getting and would still do it again.

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may
change functionality results. If you download a newer software
version, you may need to reset the device and your iPod/iPhone to
regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert
to the older software version or wait until an newer software update
is available.

Airplane Mode (for iPhone): In the event of audio
interference when you have your iPhone docked, set iPhone to Airplane Mode. You
will not be able to receive phone calls in Airplane Mode.

Controls: The Bose Portable
SoundDock does not contain any controls on the unit itself. The unit is operated
from the supplied IR wireless remote control. In addition to controlling the
Sound Dock's volume, the supplied remote control turns your iPod/iPhone on or off and
controls basic iPod/iPhone functions, such as Play, Pause, Track Seek and Playlist
Select. Your iPod will remain fully functional when connected to this unit so
you can still use the iPod/iPhone's click-wheel to control advanced functions of your
iPod.

Auxiliary Input: The Portable
SoundDock features a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input which lets you play other
audio sources, such as a portable CD player or other MP3 players through the
unit.

Headphones: The headphone
output on your iPod is independent of the Dock connector so both the SoundDock
and headphones can be used simultaneously, with independent volume control.

Non-Slip Feet: The bottom of
the SoundDock features four surface-gripping rubber pads to provide a stable
platform on most surfaces.

Power Requirements

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery:
The Portable SoundDock operates off of the supplied rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery. The battery is partially charged out of the box but a full charge is
recommended before initial use. It may take up to 10 hours to recharge the
battery completely. The Lithium-ion battery provides up to 3 hours of use with
the Portable SoundDock set to full volume. You can extend this time
significantly by choosing a lower volume. The battery is charged by the supplied
AC adaptor. The SoundDock will turn itself off when your iPod is inactive or
silent for 10 minutes to prolong battery life.

Note: This system includes an additional rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery.

Power Supply: The unit can also be
powered by the supplied AC adapter. The AC adapter also charges the supplied
Lithium-ion battery.

iPod Charger:
The SoundDock provides power to charge your iPod from either AC or battery power
during operation. iPod charging is suspended when the unit is turned off.

Note: If your iPod has four buttons above the "click
wheel" the Portable SoundDock will not charge the iPod.

Carrying Bag

Black Nylon Carrying Bag: The Bose SoundDock Portable black nylon bag
is custom designed to fit the Bose SoundDock Portable digital music system. The
nylon bag features a vinyl flap with a magnetic latch and features a padded
lining to secure and protect your Bose SoundDock Portable unit. In addition to
the bag's main compartment, the black nylon bag three additional pockets and one
secure pouch for storing the SoundDock Portable's power supply, remote control,
additional battery and your iPod. The bag also features and adjustable, padded
shoulder strap for added comfort and convenience.
